I don't have any research to back it up, but anecdotally I just recently 
spoke to 2 different women who had much lower supply in the breast on 
the side where the nipple had been pierced vs the other side that 
hadn't.  I mused that the piercing could have scarred some of the ducts 
shut, or nerve impulses were impeded due to nerve damage from the 
piercing.
